What an absolutely perfect night in Oklahoma City. A wire-to-wire 21-point Thunder blowout victory. Chris Paul nutmegging Isaiah Hartenstein. Russ’s tribute video and resounding ovation. Darius Bazley’s pre-game fit. Kendrick Perkins and Kevin Durant beefin’ on the Internet. Where do I even begin??
Let me start by saying that the OKC Thunder came to play last night. It was Russell Westbrook’s night to be appreciated by Thunder fans; but after the starting tip, it was all about the current Thunder team and making a big statement on national television.
